Meghan Markle’s latest legal motion has been denied by the court, leaving her with no choice but to appear in person.

Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell has firmly put her foot down in the ongoing Markle v. Markle defamation case.

The oral argument is set to take place on November 8th at 1:30 pm in Tampa, Florida.

Earlier this year, the judge dismissed a portion of the case related to Scobie’s book.

However, arguments regarding the Oprah Winfrey interview and comments made in a Netflix series featuring Harry and Meghan will be heard.

Samantha Markle, Meghan’s half-sister, sued her over statements made during the interview and in the Netflix series.

Meghan’s lawyers have requested the dismissal of the case without a trial, hoping to avoid the need for her to testify or release private messages.

This request will be contested in a high-stakes hearing on November 8th at the federal court in Tampa, Florida.

After months of waiting, the court has finally announced the date.

For Samantha Markle, this will be the third time she has fought to save the lawsuit.

If she is unsuccessful, it will be her last opportunity, as a judge previously informed her in March.

However, if Samantha succeeds, Meghan will be required to undergo a process called discovery by January 2nd, 2023.

This process would involve handing over private texts, emails, and other relevant documents to her half-sister.

A trial date has already been scheduled for July 2024 in another lawsuit involving Meghan Markle and the Mail on Sunday.

In this case, Meghan was forced to issue an apology in a lengthy witness statement after her private messages were submitted to the Court of Appeal in November 2021.

Meghan’s lawyers had always denied any secret cooperation with the authors of the Royal Biography Finding Freedom.

However, it was revealed through emails provided by Jason North, a former communications secretary at Kensington Palace, that Meghan had authorized him to brief the authors off the record.

This revelation confirmed that Meghan was indeed the source of the leaks.

According to reports, Justice Warby became aware of Meghan’s involvement due to a tweet from Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie.

Scobie tweeted about Meghan’s court filing just 58 minutes after it occurred.

In his 20-page ruling, Warby highlighted this timeline and reprimanded both Meghan Markle and the Associated Newspapers for playing out their dispute in public.

Despite the reprimand, the judge granted Meghan’s request to keep her friends’ names confidential, known only to him.

Meghan filed this request after learning that the Mail on Sunday planned to expose the women who had anonymously granted an interview to People magazine in 2019.

In the interview, these friends spoke out against Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, and his accusations against her and Prince Harry.

The central piece of Meghan’s lawsuit against the tabloid is a letter she wrote to her father, which was published by the Mail on Sunday with alleged edits to portray her negatively.

Meghan is also suing the news outlet for a breach of data privacy.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail has reported on Omid Scobie’s close relationship with Meghan.

Scobie, known as Meghan’s cheerleader and apostle in media circles, is believed to have a special connection with her.

He has reiterated that Prince Harry and Meghan did not sit down for an interview for Finding Freedom, clarifying speculations about their involvement in the book’s content.
